Forum:Aliens in The Essential Atlas

Wookieepedia > WookieeProject Aliens > Aliens in The Essential Atlas

With the release of Star Wars: The Essential Atlas and Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion, a lot of our FA and GA species articles have become outdated. This page serves as a repository to make note of new information provided in these reference works about our alien species articles. Items to the left of the Coordinates field come from older sources; place new information in the Atlas information field at the end of the table. Please include page numbers so other project members can check as well!

Things to look for:

  • Does an alien species' homeworld appear on a map?
  • Is the world located on any named hyperspace routes?
  • Is it listed as a battle site or site of some other event?
  • By using the historical maps in the Atlas, can we infer when a world first became part of the "known galaxy?"
  • Does the world (or its coordinates) appear in the sphere of influence of any major power?
  • What system name does the Atlas use for the world? Does this differ from previous sources? (If so, create a redirect!)
  • What region does the Atlas place the system in?
  • What sector does the Atlas Companion place the system in?

As I read through the Atlas, I tried to keep a sharp eye out for WPA alien homeworlds, but I know I dropped the ball on some (such as the Drovians and Exodeenians). In other words, a species above may have many more mentions than those I've listed; I just may have missed them. ~ SavageBob 21:37, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

  • Ooh! Could you also make a list of new species created by the Atlas? --Eyrezer 04:34, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
    • I'm actually not sure what new species were created for it. Do you have any idea? ~ SavageBob 14:27, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
      • Jilruan is one. First named, at least. I think a list appeared on tfn, too. --Eyrezer 09:37, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
  • From Justin Gann's notes posted on tfn. This includes species that receive new homeworlds. This doesn't include Atlas Appendix worlds.
